Question

Assertion : Nerve impulse is generated in the depolarised state of neuron.\ Reason : The electric potential difference generated across the plasma membrane of a neuron is called action potential.\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b) : When a stimulus is reached, the rapid influx of $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ions take place which causes accumulation of positive charge inside and negative charge outside the membrane. This state is known as depolarised state and the difference across the plasma membrane is called action potential which is called nerve impulse.
